418 The Secret of the East (2)

"Things on the Eastern Grassland are very complicated..." Duo Weiyan's calm face suddenly became angry when she heard the fat man asking about the Eastern Grassland.

"Our Kugit Khanate has dominated the grassland for three hundred years. It has thousands of tribes and a population of millions. There is no shortage of warriors who fight to the death, and there is no shortage of brave and unnecessary generals. If it were not for the internal fighting among the tribes, the two royal courts in the east and west would be separated. , it’s not the Ruidian people’s turn.”

"If not..." When Duo Weiyan got angry, his voice suddenly stopped and his mouth opened, but he did not continue.

Duo Weiyan, who was hesitant to speak, made Fatty feel that something secret must be involved, otherwise Duo Weiyan would never be hesitant like he is now, given his uprightness.

This is an excellent opportunity to understand the secrets of the separation of the Kugit royal court. The fat man will never let go of such an opportunity. He first asked the guards to bring a bottle of Aturu wine produced in Savalan in the south.

This wine is light blue in color and is a favorite strong drink among seafarers.

This wine is not rare in the south, but it is very cherished in Kugit in the north, because this wine is made from a grain called Verahu in Savaran.

It is purified after three steaming and three brewing. Under the current sealed conditions, after long bumps on the rugged road and long exposure to the hot sun,

For every 100 bottles shipped to Kugit, 95 will lose their original aroma and aroma, and the remaining 5 bottles must be drank immediately within three days, otherwise they will have an unbearable sour taste.

Therefore, most caravans are unwilling to transport this kind of laborious and easily loss-making southern wine.

The fat man also discovered this thing from the cellar of the Business Alliance branch, where ice cubes collected in winter were piled up, and it was very rare that he kept 2 bottles.

When Duo Weiyan heard the fat man say that what was served was Atulu wine, her eyes gleamed and her tongue lightly touched her lips. The grassland people with upright and bold personalities like this kind of strong liquor that burns their throats the most.

Even high-level Kugit people like Yi Duoweiyan had only heard of this kind of wine a few times. This time they had the opportunity to drink it at Fatty’s place, and he was willing to move there. Fatty also let the chef from the Business Alliance serve it a few times. Duo Weiyan and I sat by the window to eat some southern-style dishes.

A whole bottle of Atulu liquor was quickly poured into Duoweiyan's stomach. The effect of the liquor was evident on Duoweiyan's face, which was as red as if blood was about to drip from her skin.

The fat man looked at Duo Weiyan's bulging boss, and his bloodshot eyes had lost focus. He knew that the heat was almost there, so he started to ask about the situation in the eastern grassland.

Throughout the afternoon, from Duoweyan's drunken words, the fat man learned that Hamar in the east and Turga in the center were originally areas directly controlled by the royal court. However, a coup involving the secrets of royal power changed Kuji's life. The most lush area of ​​the special grassland is artificially divided into two areas.

The two most powerful tribes, the Sisai Royal Tribe in the west and the Duolun Royal Tribe in the east, and the Kugit tribe, turned from their closest comrades into mutually hostile enemies because of a woman.

When the fat man continued to ask about the details of the internal fight, Duo Weiyan's expression suddenly became very strange. No matter what the fat man tried to say, he was unwilling to say any more. He just kept his head hanging on the table.

"This guy is drunk." The fat man used his hand to push Duo Weiyan's head, which was completely lying on the table. He stood up helplessly and said to Hu Keqi behind him, "You arrange a few people to send him to the entrance of the second floor. Let's meet." The matter must be kept secret. Tell the guard at the entrance that you found a high-ranking nobleman drunk in a roadside tavern."

After sending Duo Weiyan away, Fatty also left the hotel and prepared to return to his temporary residence.

The carriage traveled along the winding streets of Yunzhong City. Because most of the shops were closed, there were very few people on the streets.

For the Kugit people, the vast grassland outside the city is their ideal residence. The function of the majestic Yunzhong City for spiritual worship and refuge is far greater than the residential function of the city itself.

The general residential areas are on the second floor. Except for a small number of merchants and mercenaries, the bottom floor is mostly open to the tribesmen as a refuge. During the construction, the soft soil excavated during the excavation of artificial lakes outside the city was used, so Yun The lower streets of Midtown are damp all year round and are not suitable for long-term living. Often every six months, the residents of the lower floors have to leave the city and camp in the outskirts.

Fatty disagreed with such a unique design. According to Fatty's understanding of Yunzhong City, Yunzhong City originally only had two floors. As for the third floor, it was just a derivative of the main city.

The holy mountain Hylar itself is not very large, and Yunzhong City, which is built on the mountain, is not much larger either. It only has a radius of five miles at most, and its population is only about 20,000.

The expansion work of the third floor originated 15 years ago when a royal princess named Sesehuers ordered the expansion of Yunzhong City. In order to rapidly expand Yunzhong City into a center of power that integrates politics, spirituality, and economy,

Princess Sesehuers ordered an artificial lake to be dug outside Cloud City to store rainwater.

This smart move solved the drinking water problem that had long plagued Yunzhong City in one fell swoop. It also used a large amount of soft soil produced by excavating the lake to significantly expand the periphery of Yunzhong City.

A third level of Cloud City was constructed that could allow tribes to avoid hurricanes and temporarily live in it.

This is a genius design, although Fatty didn’t know much about the construction conditions at that time.

But on both sides of the street where the carriage was traveling, the fat man clearly saw two rows of ditches covered with stone slabs. Obviously, these were two sewers used to drain rainwater when it rained.

This undoubtedly surprised the fat man, and he had a little more admiration for the Kugit princess named Ssehuls.

The fat man from modern times knew very well that a city was not a simple collection of buildings.

The builders of the city not only needed to be careful, but also more intelligent.

And this royal princess named Ssehuls used her clever thinking to handle all of this just right.

Artificially dig lakes to collect water, expand the dual-purpose public lower floor that can be used for refuge and business, so as to attract a large number of tribes and talents to gather in Yunzhong City, build sewers to drain mountain floods, so that this small city built on the mountain can expand rapidly.

Everything seems incredible.

But in just 15 years, The wisdom left by that woman created this amazing and magnificent city in front of us.

Time passed in an indescribable tranquility.

After enough supplies arrived, the grassland Laren Warrior Competition was held as scheduled.

Duo Weiyan enthusiastically sent someone to deliver an invitation, but Fatty considered that it was not appropriate for him to show up at such a critical moment, so he sent Hu Keqili to watch the ceremony instead of Vikia.

The cool breeze of the grassland blew on Fatty's face. Through the open window of the room, Fatty could see a purebred Supor warhorse running into his yard. Several guards hurriedly gathered around.

"Grand Duke Ai Chemoer urgent report" Hu Keqili pushed open the door of Fatty's room with a solemn face, holding a fiery red scroll in his hand and shouted, "The Left Guard has surrendered to Rieldian yesterday. 30,000 Rieldian vanguards bypassed the mountains on the west side of Ai Chemoer and approached the Turga outpost Saweitu City
